Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Shots Natural Tart Cherry
Brand: Health Direct · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Shots Natural Tart Cherry contains Calcium, which supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, data on the product's collagen and tart cherry ingredients is not available in the provided data, so our analysis focuses solely on the calcium component.
How it works
Think of calcium as a foundational mineral for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for keeping your skeleton strong. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after activity [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessively high blood or urine calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with this product due to the potential risks of high calcium intake and the lack of data on its other ingredients. Do not exceed the recommended serving on the label. If you take any medications listed above, take this supplement at a different time of day. Consult your doctor before use, especially if you have kidney disease or a history of heart problems [NIH ODS].
